Golazzo: The Totally Italian Football Show

After a winter break, Serie A is back this weekend so it’s the welcome return of Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti on Golazzo. With the second half about to kick off, we ask who will win the race for 4th, will Bologna sort themselves out and stay up, and how much does Ronaldo have left in the tank? Plus we study the signings being made in January. Muriel, Gabbiadini and, er, Holdsworth… The biggest deal of all this month could well be Aaron Ramsey’s move from Arsenal to Juventus. We look back at the legacies of the previous Welsh players to have donned the black and white in Turin – the gentle giant John Charles and the misquoted Ian Rush.

This week on Golazzo, Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti look back at Bobo – Christian Vieri – the grumpiest striker in Serie A. Currently enjoying life as a DJ, and having admitted he would have been happier playing cricket in his former home of Australia, Vieri wasn’t exactly a bad footballer. One of Italy’s all-time great strikers and a top scorer in Serie A and La Liga. Bobo liked to score on and off the pitch but ended his career living with his mother. He made his way through plenty of clubs. 9 in 9 years to be exact. And heaven knows how many nightclubs. Elsewhere, it was a heart-breaking week for Napoli and Inter who were both eliminated from the Champions League by a wafer-thin margin. It was a wild weekend in Italy with dramatic finishes while Juventus are enjoying the best start in Serie A history. Plus Prandelli is the latest manager to take on the chalice at Genoa. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Inter and Napoli knocked out of the Champions League (01m 00s) • PART 2a: An introduction to Christian Vieri (07m 30s) • PART 2b: Vieri replaces Vialli at Juventus, then leaves for Atletico Madrid (11m 30s) • PART 2c: Vieri’s off again – this time to Lazio, then Inter, becoming the most expensive player in the world (15m 30s) • PART 2d: Vieri’s international career and fall-out at Euro 2004 (20m 30s) • PART 3a: Vieri tapped by private detectives at Inter, resulting in a move to Milan then Monaco (22m 45s) • PART 3b: Vieri returns to his nomadic ways in 2006 back in Serie A (27m 45s) • PART 3c: Vieri’s legacy and DJ career – the Bobo Dance!

With the announcement that Maurizio Zamparini has sold Palermo to a consortium involving David Platt, the panel of Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti look back at Zamparini’s time in Sicily. We bring you the whole story. From Vasquez to Viagra. It’s the story that includes over a thousand sexual conquests and Jimbo’s favourite goal in Serie A history. The story of the man who found a kindred spirit in Kyle Lafferty. In an extremely competitive field, Zamparini is a record-breaker when it comes to owners dismissing managers in Italy. 45 sackings in 16 years will do that. And it was a golden age on the field, starring the likes of Cavani, Pastore, Dybala, Grosso, Toni. The list went on, as Palermo were regulars on the European scene. In Serie A, we look ahead to what could be a Friday night thriller between Juventus and Inter. And while Gennaro Gattuso continues to defy expectations as a manager, Pippo Inzaghi fails to meet them. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Zamparini sells Palermo to David Platt (01m 00s) • PART 2: Zamparini sells Venezia to buy Palermo in 2002 (05m 30s) • PART 3a: Palermo promoted to Serie A in 2004 – the great players they had and the vast quantity of managers (10m 30s) • PART 3b: Zamparini moves into politics – the pitchfork movement (17m 30s) • PART 3c: The second great Palermo side of 2010-11 (20m 00s) • PART 3d: Zamparini’s active sex life (25m 45s) • PART 4: Juventus v Inter preview and a look back at last weekend’s Serie A action (27m 45s) GET IN TOUCH: • find us on Facebook, where you’ll find video, photos and loads of other stuff. • send us a tweet: @theTotallyShow • for sales and advertising email sales@muddykneesmedia.com

This week on Golazzo, Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti look back to a time when it was always sunny in Filadelfia. Gigi Lentini took Torino to new heights, including the UEFA Cup Final, and ended up in a transfer tug of war between Milan and Juventus in the summer of 1992\. Lentini took Silvio Berlusconi’s helicopter to the San Siro for a world record fee. £13 million was so astronomical that it managed to offend the Pope. But his life was changed forever as he sped to visit Toto Schillaci’s wife in 1993 and wrote off his Porsche. It was also the end of his career at elite level, thanks to a combination of a coma and Capello. In the modern day, we review the action in Serie A where Chievo are no longer pointless and Milan manager Gattuso has angered the government. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: An introduction to Gigi Lentini – the teenage prodigy (01m 00s) • PART 2a: Torino in the early 90s – the team that reached the 1992 UEFA Cup Final (05m 00s) • PART 2b: Lentini signs for Milan for a world record fee (13m 00s) • PART 3a: Lentini’s car crash in 1993 (17m 40s) • PART 3b: Lentini returns to Torino in 1997 – Dorigo, Souness and a run-in with Materazzi (21m 30s) • PART 3c: Lentini’s legacy – a failure?
